Bounce Out

118,240. MUST block that horrible noise it makes.

118K? I'm not worthy!


(But my sound volume is all the way down.)

That is my highest ever, to date. Usually I'm dying in the level 4 or level 5 range.

I've gotten to level 5 a few times, but not past it yet. :)

Ah, then with a score like that you're strategizing better than I do. I try to find foursies, but mostly my strategy consists of not making move A if it will destroy move B - make move B first, then A. (Not always possible, but often possible.)

I think you've misunderstood me. I haven't gotten near 118K, I was reiterating your score. I don't have much strategy myself, except that I try and hit things on the bottom before things on the top.

Oh whoops, I was remembering [livejournal.com profile] klwalton's score as yours.

Huh, I go the other way round, just to avoid destroying potential moves for later.

If I know there are potential moves farther up, I'll do what you do. If not, I'll shuffle things around and hope I pick up some 'freebie" additional drops, which will give me more time to think before the fuse starts burning again. Not sure my method is right, though, just what I'm doin'.

Woohoo! I topped out at 106,000something.

I just turn the speakers down. The sound gives me the twitches.

It took me until today to hear the sound. I plugged headphones in for the first time since the office moved. Yeee-ow! I plugged them right back out again.

I've gotten to level 4. :)

*beam*

(I don't play much.)

I TRY not to play much either, but my good sense doesn't always keep a tight rein on my mouse clicks :-) :-)

Do you notice that "time" stops while things are bouncing around? I can definitely do a lot better if I maintain a one- or two-move lookahead, so as to keep it busy.
